HELP! I just bought from New Egg a Samsung SH-S203B. I placed it in my Dell Dimension e510 and it does not want to recognize it as a DVD drive. It also keeps asking me for printer driver when I boot up. I put the latest firmware in it as it was the only thing I could find online. I contacted Samsung and New Egg for software (which dvd drive did not come with) and they have not gotten back to me. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you for your time.

How are your SATA ports configured in the Dell e510? If they are RAID only ports, don't expect much luck... Do you know what SATA chipset is drving the SATA ports on the Dell? You may want to consult your manual or Dell and post back. You may have to invest in a Silicon Image PCI based SATA card (3114 or 3512 based chipset).

Does anyone know if this drive has undergone any hardware revisions? I am thinking of picking up a couple more and I want to be sure they have not changed and suck now. I remember the ones from Indonesia are supposed to be slightly better and that is where my first one from newegg was built.

Not aware of it and it is probably at end of life now since the announcement of the SH-S223 (22x speed drive)... I'd go for the 203B personally... they have new firmware (SB03) now. It's a great drive no matter where it was manufactured.
